RABBIT KILLERS
RODENTS KASILY DIG THROIGH
SNOW TO CUSTOMARY FEED.
. AND IGNORE RATION OF
POLSONKD ALFALFA. V,
That the rapid thawing of. snow
has seriously hampered , plans for
the wholesale poisoning of jaokrab
bits la Deschutes county Is Indicated
by reports coming In from various
farming sections, where It has been
found that the "jacks" are ignoring
the carefully prepared rations of
strychnine-soaked alfalfa leaves, and
are instead subsisting on grasses,
roots, and winter grains.
The first cold night following the
thaw, resulting In a slight crusting
of tbe snow, proved ideal for rabbit
poisoning, and hundreds of the des
tructive rodents were killed at that
time, but since then the poisoning
campaign has bad but little effect.
It is explained that the rodents can
now easily dig through the snow to
the ground, gaining access to their
customary foed.
A freeze of two or. three nights
duration would enable ranchers to
work havoc among the rabbits, it is
declared.

gram of addresses for the evening.
Severnl tables of cards were played
after the. banquet broke up. and
during the entire affair not a single
alarm sounded, i
Preparations were made on so gen
erous a scale that when the banquet
was concluded, it was found that 8

STOCK DIE OF
NEW DISEASE
HIGH DESERT LOSSES

Cattle Ik'tivii-n One and Kiglit
Months Huhjcct to infection
Culf Dlptlici'iji Suspcctcil
Aid Ih Asked.
Cuttle on the high desert aro dying
in large numbers from a mysterious
malady, which has ac fur resisted
diagnosis and treatment alike, ac
cording" to reports coming In from
stockmen. One rancher has lost 40
head, 23 belonging to another stock
man were victims of the disene, and
other losses will probably bring the
total close to 100.
The disease, in some respects, is
similar to blackleg, attacking calves
from one to eight months old, and
apparently is highly contagious. The
infected animal has a watery dis
charge from the nostrils, froths at
the mouth, and in the evening lies
down, twitches spasmodically, and Is
dead. Post mortem examinations
show a discoloration of the flesh of
the legs and under the Jaw, but tbe
swelling characteristic of blackleg, is
absent.
R. A. Ward, to whom reports have
been made, believes that the disease
may possibly be calf diphtheria, but
as no specimens of the mucous tis
sues of the throat or nasal passage
of the animals have been examined,
be does not give this opinion aa la
any sense final.
In an endeavor to secure diagnosis
and directions for effective treat
ment, he has written to Dr. B. P.
Simms, veterinarian at the Oregon
Agricultural college, and to State
Veterinarian, Dr. W. H. Lytle, ask
ing that they visit this locality as
quickly as possible, in order to make
a thorough inspection of infected
livestock.
